Illyria Theatre present As You Like It

Shakespeare’s highly likable comedy revolves around the character of Rosalind, banished by her usurping uncle to the Forest of Arden, where her exiled father is already living. Revelling in the naturalness of the surroundings, Rosalind and her companions - cousin Celia and Touchstone the fool - find a happiness they hadn’t known existed... Presented by Ilyria theatre company.

About Illyria

For over thirty years, Illyria has stayed true to its original mission: to tour outstandingly enjoyable and original outdoor theatre, and to make it available for everyone. The Company has done this by offering as varied a programme as possible, touring all over the world, creating shows that remain true to the authors’ intentions without being slavishly reverential, and by striving to keep ticket prices affordable.

Illyria has also spent decades campaigning for fairer working conditions in the arts, wholeheartedly supporting and working with Equity (the actors’ union), adopting their Charter for Outdoor Theatre and taking the best possible care of artists. 

The Company has given more performances to more people across a wider area than any other outdoor touring company in the UK. Enjoying theatre together under the sun or the stars is a great unifying experience - old or young, rich or poor, audience or performer, the sky above our heads is the same for us all.
